I'm new to RYB and am quite committed to giving your program a try after some 30 years of back pain. I've downloaded and read your back pain book, and am very excited about performing the exercise regiment.

However, I'm having a problem executing the Cobra routine due to an old shoulder injury (torn labrum). I can perform step 1 without a problem, but, after about 30-45 seconds in step two, my right shoulder gets aggravated by the exercise. It then becomes difficult to peroform step 3 because of the shoulder irritation caused from Step 2. (Step 2 is actually more strenuous on the shoulder problem then Step 3.) Again, I'm quite fine with Step 1.

Anyway, I would GREATLY appreciate any suggestions you may have to work around this situation. Thank you!
